Henry Van Denburgh, Respondents v. the President and Trustees of the Village of Greenbush, Appellants

Summary

The Court held that the 1869 general lien amendment did not repeal the 1865 special mechanic's lien statute for Rensselaer County; the 1870 act restored the 1865 law, so a notice of lien filed with the town clerk was proper. It also noted that the defendants' public‑building defense was never raised, leaving the plaintiffs' lien claim intact.
